(ESWL) works in something like a high-tech Ribe Goldberg sequence. The patient, usually anesthetized from the waist down to obliterate the mild discomfort of the shocks, is strapped onto a pallet and lowered into a specially designed tub full of water. X-rays reveal the precise location of the kidney stone on two television monitors. The physician pushes a button, and a spark plug at the bottom of the tank fires, vaporizing some of the water, which then creates a pressure wave. After bouncing off an elliptical brass reflector that is aimed at the patient's kidney stone, the wave passes harmlessly through the patient's tissues but creates a shattering impact when it collides with the hard stone. More than a thousand individual shocks may be required to completely break up a stone, which will wash away in the patient's urine after it disintegrates. 6, record 12, English, - extracorporeal%20shock%20wave%20lithotripter

Some classic uses are straw in bricks, animal hair in plaster, and asbestos in cement.

In another case, rather than use separated discrete sized fibers for reinforcement, duPont has experimented with their nonwoven fabric Typar as a reinforcement material for concrete. Placing a sheet of fabric one-third of the distance up from the bottom of a 12 by 12 by 3/4 inch thick concrete tile, impact strengths were measured against control tiles. It was found that 5 foot-pounds were required to break the unreinforced section, while 20 foot-pounds were required for 2 once per square yard Typar-reinforced tiles.... 1, record 13, English, - fabric%2Dreinforced%20concrete
